The Sutra of the Heap of Jewels, Ratnakuta Sutra, is a major ancient collection of Indian Mahayana Buddhist teachings. It contains forty-nine texts of varying length, traditionally called “assemblies”, and it is divided into 120 fascicles in the Chinese translation.
The wilderness monk who dwells in the wilderness shall intensely cultivate the notion of the wilderness. For him this body is similar to grasses, trees, a wall, a clod of dirt, or an illusion, and is without master, possessions or chattels.
